The first section of The Via Veneto Papers is an evocation of the Rome of La Dolce Vita, of the early stages in the writing and the realizing of the film itself, and, through a series of brilliant little sketches, a commemoration of the aging poet Vincenzo Cardarelli, skeptical survivor from an earlier time, representative of an altogether different life. "Occasional Notebooks" comprises the second section and the third section is an interview given by Flaiano shortly before his death.

This bibliography lists English-language translations of twentieth-century Italian literature published chiefly in book form between 1929 and 1997, encompassing fiction, poetry, plays, screenplays, librettos, journals and diaries, and correspondence.

Providing the most complete record possible of texts by Italian writers active after 1900, this annotated bibliography covers over 4,800 distinct editions of writings by some 1,700 Italian authors. Many entries are accompanied by useful notes that provide information on the authors, works, translators, and the reception of the translations. This book includes the works of Pirandello, Calvino, Eco, and more recently, Andrea Camilleri and Valerio Manfredi. Together with Robin Healey's Italian Literature before 1900 in English Translation, also published by University of Toronto Press in 2011, this volume makes comprehensive information on translations from Italian accessible for schools, libraries, and those interested in comparative literature.

From Tangiers to the Vatican, Dr. Orient breaks deep cover to track an ancient evil After skipping the country to escape a crazed voodoo killer, Dr. Orient finds himself in exile in Tangiers—and still on the run from the CIA, which wants to use his psychic abilities against mankind. Low on money, he agrees to act as the interpreter for Maya Rand, a beautiful art expert who takes him to an archaeological site in Marrakech reputed to be the tomb of Imhotep. Within days, Orient is under occult attack and involved in a murder. On the run again, it’s up to him to break a hieroglyphic code and prevent an ancient curse from rising once again. In The Seth Papers, Dr. Orient’s adventure takes him from Tangiers to Casablanca to Rome, where he uncovers an unholy plot to sacrifice the Pope and unleash hell on the Vatican.
